Decorating the Buildings and Pre-
pairing for the Grand Illumina-
ton.
The platform at Bridge square is up,
but not yet decorated. 1t is built around
the electric mast, and beneath the red
and white globes which have been sus-.
pended from the top of the mast. The
star and motto "Our President are to
go up to-day. The illuminations
on Third street have been rein
forced, says Mr.. Van Slyke, to the
number of about I,5OO globes. All the
globes have been polished. Wherever
broken globe was found bright new
one was substituted for it. A large
number of new standards have been put
up on both sides of the streets. These
form bow, surmounted by cross and
bearing globes of several colors at the
gables and they project partly across
the sidewalks and partly across the
street. The anchor at Third and Cedar
streets will be reconstructed to-day.
The arch upon Wabasha street is up
and ready for the globes, which will be
put on to-day.
This morning the decorations will
commence in good earnest. The Ryan
hotel has already donned its brightest
holiday attire and is decorated with the
national colors and the stars and stripes.
The porch at the Sixth street entrance
is draped in folds of red, white and
blue bunting. The GLOBE building
rises up decorated with the national
colors, each story fiuttering a different
color. Nicoll the taylor on Wabasha
street has copied after the Ryan largely,
or perhaps the Ryan copied
after him, but his door lintels
and pillars are additionally draped in
deep pink and old gold. The colors of
all nations flutter from the Northern
Pacific express building. From the
Drake block are suspended broad red,
white and blue streamers. Delmonico's
restaurant, Beupre, Keogh & Co.'s
wholesale house, YanZ, Griggs & Howe's,
Arthur, Warren q Abbott's, P. r. l..
Hardenberg & Co.'s, and George Benz
& Sons, were among the first houses to
decorate, and the national colors are
now fluttering gaily from them. Adam
Fetsch has adorned his store with the
stars end stripes. The custom house

Gen. Villas Army Record.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The Volunteer
Army Register is publication compris-
ing about a dozen volumes, which was
printed under authority of congress by
direction of the secretary of war at the
close of the rebellion. 1t is supposed
to give the full military history of every
officer who was in the volunteer service
of the Republic. But it is incomplete.
In the history of the Twenty-third Wis
consin the only mention that is made of
the postmaster general is William f.
Villas, lieuteEant-colonel, resigned Aug.
%, 1861 The report of the adjutant
general of Wisconsin, however-which
is not usually supposed to be as COM
plete as the Volunteer Army Register
shows that ''William f. Villas entered
the service as captain Aug. IA, 1862. and
was promoted to major Feb. 26, 1s63,and
to lieutenant-colonel March %, 1868, and
resigned Aug. %, 1865" after having
been in the service one year and four
teen days. The Volunteer Army Regis
ter is, therefore, incomplete, and does
not do justice to the gentleman in that
it does not mention either of the pro-
motions with which he was honored. nor
does it give the date of his first commits

AN OCEAN OF FLOWERS.

The Reception and Private Par
IOrs to be Decorated Lavishly.
The floral decorations at the Ryan are
to be something magnificent. Ten
wagon loads of choice blooming flowers
will be landed there early this morning
by E. V. Beals, and by the middle of the
afternoon the reception rooms will in
deed be ''bowers of beauty"
Each of the five rooms will be decor
ated with different colored flOwers-red,
white, yellow, pink and autumnal tints.
In the lobby will be placed great banks
of autumnal leaves, filled out with va
rious kinds of forest flowers. In the
other four rooms will be the red, white,
pink and yellow flowers in banks on the
mantelS and around the sides of the
room, while the chandeliers will be dec
GRATED in like profuSe manner with
the same kind of flowers. Back of the
banks of roses and autumnal flowers
will be placed a large number of pot
plants, in all cases of the same tint as
the flowers that are used to fill out the
banks.
The long hall leading past these
rooms will be decorated with flowers of
various kinds, giving the observer an
idea of the enchanted chambers leading
Off from it.
In the rear of the four urreception rooms
are the private rooms of the President
and Mrs. Cleveland, Gen. Villas and
Col. Lamont. The decoration of these
rooms has been undertaken by several
ladies of this city, and from the supply
of marechal neil and jacqueminot roses
they have secured these rooms will not
be behind those decorated by the florist
in the rich profusion of flowers, and
certainly not in beauty and tastefulness
of design.
All the parlors and the private dane

tial party. Parlors 1, 2, and will be
used as reception rooms. Parlor A will

The clubs will march up Third until the
head of the column reaches Bridge
square in fours-in eights if they
can pass through the crowd that way.

wider than fours to pass through. The

Senator Voorhees, Son.

Specialize the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Hon. Charles
S. Voorhees,, delegate for Washington,
and the young man who will be one of
the Senators from the new state as soon
as it is admitted, is at the Ebbitt. Char
lie is not only a son of his distinguished
father, but he is man all through and
through. He went to Washington ter
ritory and was elected to Congress solely
on his merit. He is dashing fellow,
strong and true Democrat, an able de-
batter. an ardent champion of the rights
OF his territory, and an intense lover of
his friends. Unfortunately, Charlie
does not like Cleveland. He believes
that the influence of the president was
used against him in his fight for admis-
sion last winter, and he feels sore over
it. Prior to that he was one of the
strongest friends, and the most active,
that Cleveland had in either end of the
capitol. But Voorhees, believes in his
people first, and the president and
everybody else afterwards. He hopes
for the admission of Washington, Da-
kota and Montana territories during the
coming winter; or, at least, for the pas
sage of enabling acts which will bring
in the new states after the presidential
election is held.

der such circumstances he could never
be'a presidential candidate in 1892. On
'all'accOuntS it is absurd and unthinka-
BILE that he should give away the state
this year to build his boom. 1t would
bury him forever. He is sincerely and
earnestly for Cleveland"
'Then you think New York will 60
democratic this year?"
IL cannot say that Just yet. If hard
work and earnest work will produce
5that desired result there will be no
question of the way the state will go.
But there is that Internal labor move
-ment, which is beyond all political cal
culatiOns. If the temperance vote is as
heavy as it friends expect it to be the
labor vote will be offset by it. 1 have
less fears of New York in 1888 than I
have in 1887. At present the labor
movement is at the flood. 1t will fall
off from this time forward. McGlynn
and George are asking too much. They
want the earth. The people will not give
it to them. Their movement is as
strong as it can ever be, and next year
it will be comparatively weakling.
This year, however, it is puzzler. If
New York goes Republican it will be
mainly because of that element"

The day is come, the hour is near. At

from the heart of every patriotic citi-
zen. st. Paul to-day will put forth
every effort to outdO her sister cities of
the West in honoring the presence of
the first Democratic president for more
titan quarter of century. The world
has been invited to join in, at st. Paul's
expense. Not all the world will he here,
but every man, woman and child in the
great and growing Northwest, OF which
st. Paul is the center. will join in spirit
or presence to make the reception
worthy of the occasion. There will be
such crowds of strangers within the city,
that the hordeS which celebrated the
mad winter carnival will be forgotten,
and thousands which came to see Gen.
Grant and the Willard party and cele-
brate the opening of the Northern Paci-
fic, will sink into insignifcance. The
dozen trunk lines entering the city have
been taxed to their fullest capacity for
two days past. in bringing in the people
of adjoining states and territories. Ten
hotels are running over: private dwell
ings are invaded by strangers, and
lodgings everywhere are alta big pre-
MUM. Every foot of window and roof
space overlooking the line of the pro-
cession tonight will be taken care of
somehow, and all will be given an
equal chance to share in the general re-
joicing. The bunting is in place; the
flags are flying: the illuminations are
prepared, another carnival pageant
is waiting to march.
